Bro such a good game series, also you don't have to be rich to get a PC, i got a job and bought a 600$ that works jsut fine
Hmm
actualy thats a lot of money nvm
I’ll think about it
But I'd recommend
Yes
?
Echo-4
Yeah
Fall Bart
Glad GSC moved the release date by a year, not an easy decision but hopefully this means more time to polish and balance things. Honestly looking forward to how gsc steps up their game in the story department, the previous entries had great stories but most of the plot was relayed through cutscenes and text, something that would be the next logical step for story telling purposes would be awesome.
For how big the game is supposedly, more time can only mean more well thought out developer decisions unlike dying light 2, surface level it was a great game but you start to feel a prick in the back of your neck that starts to grow and grow until you can no longer ignore it. The prick in question comes from design choices that are just… off, like the way they handle upgrading, loot, and map content, before you catch what they’re doing it seems all fine and dandy but then it loses that ability to entertain you like 2 hours in and you force yourself to trudge through the terrible story and game play loop in hopes that it picks up, but no that’s just it.
Seeing as how some of their team is off fighting a war.
It's highly respectable. It's not ready, and they want it to be 100% ready.
Factual
No reason to rush something that isn’t done
Cyberpunk is a very good example as to what happens when you let external forces make decisions for you
I'm living amongst geniuses
Amogus
Yes
Reason: Bad word usage
Artyom! We need some gas masks for Riga station, get a move on
I knew this was going to happen
Metro 2033 or exodus
We were all thinking it
Lol
Tbh I’m a fan of both but if you twisted my arm I would have to say 2033
The atmosphere is unmatched
Scary
Really hope the final area in Stalker 2 isn't like in pripyat where they have a vendor that gives you free ammo and other supplies. One of the only things I really didn't like. lol Probably an unpopular opinion. xp
Eww xp
Wacky
STALKER
We play S.T.A.L.K.E.R instead of Fallout, what did you think
Ah, topical falloutt roast, respect
how many warns do you get before you get a mute
Stalkers, do not argue. It is Freedom and Duty that regularly bicker.
Oh, I wasn't trying to argue sorry if it seemed that way
No threats either.
Bandits do that.
Actually speaking of factions, you two are not favored by the Ukrainian Military, yet i'm Neutral with them.
Why's that.
What are you talking about, I am an actual idiot and you completly lost me on ukrainian military
what did I walk in on
the #⭐┃nospoilers_general general chatting channel from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Official Community discord server
fr fr
The will both be released for game pass and for PC on day one (release), on Steam and Epic Games platform
In CoP it was understandable, since they were militaries, in SoC there was no vendor there

AT. DAMN. LAST. We have THE RAD... BACK! Looks so rad again.
Oh I thought it'll be more propaganda. Turns out the last video acts as extended version of SoC's intro. It's ok....
...lmao... It's a delay video!
The one driving the truck is Professor Hermann
Makes me think someone was ashamed of admitting another change of deadline thus... "Let the digits speak instead"
What do you call this for real?
Delay teaser or smth?
Delay announcement teaser since there is no catch sounds more like the right way of describing the thing
However.. the title sounds pretty... clickbaity

Propaganda?
Oh I thought you meant some other propaganda
Though what is Hermann doing there
It is by a mile military/government propaganda - talking game-wise!!! On top of it, Hermann became corrupted...cor..... Corruptmann!
I doubt Hermann became corrupted if he's literally with Skif
More or less it seems he does disagree with SIIRCA or the Ecologist disagree with SIIRCA
Since, they technically are two different factions
Doing some rally racing in a URAL clearly


I came in here for the first time in five months to simply state the fact people think Mercs and Bandits are friendly or neutral to freedom gives me a god damn aneurysm.
given Freedom is in open warfare with the mercs in 2/3 games and in the 3rd mercenaries straight up try to kill Uncle Yar.
they try to kill uncle yar cuz he found out about their business
they didnt want people to know about it
so they try to kill uncle yar only
And Yar only told Degtyarev as to not get the whole of Freedom involved
yeah
Uncle Yar is cool, he gave me food when i was on very low hp because of hunger
i hope ashot is still alive
Such is life in the zone and all that stuff but I hope so too :P
i helped ashot
But yeah in CS they're actively trying to ambush freedom patrols and are paying off their Commandant, in shoc they're spying on Freedom and lukash hires you to kill merc spies in the Freedom faction. If anything they're the most hostile to mercs of any of the factions
Bet Duty paid them to attack Freedom :P
he gave me money for suit, but i wasted them on loot, when i didnt realized, and i killed all of bandits
no it was the bandits they got the base anyway
As to avoid the whole larger scale conflict ceasire thing they had in SoC
btw i have bug in cs
cs is based before shoc you know.
I was talking in the case of SoC, I don't remember why Mercs were attacking Freedom in CS which is why I didn't comment on that game
so that wouldn't even make any sense
They don't need the same reasoning in each game
the bandits were helped by the mercs
i was near Freedom, and i had to talk with commandeer, but i was getting killed every time i go, even i did what they told
how else would they get the base under their control
But yeah if anything Freedom butts heads with the mercs the most of anyone
so I don't get why people keep getting this idea they're Friendly or neutral
cuz freedom is supposed to be the most wildy accepted faction in the zone therefore they should have alot of allies unlike duty
hmm
Freedom aren't nice people and never have been, they're only ever nice if you directly work with them. 2/3 games the first time you meet them they nearly shoot you, its just this weird idea that they are "nice and friendly". Duty isn't any better though they atleast don't hire you to kill loners really.
idk, i like more freedom, neither duty
i see allusion on russia in duty
for real
duty isnt russia
duty works with the ukrainian military
ukrainian military: talks on russian
While I don't completely agree with Duty they probably have the most logical reaction for anyone's who spent time in the zone :P
Wanting revenge for lost friends and the horrors they've seen
russian is one of the languages in ukraine
if anything Duty is aligned with the ukrainian gov, they actively help them study the zone and contain it. the original stalker 2 stuff had them straight up merge with the Military and turn into a special zone task force at the end
yes, but still
i hate that idea
yes
them speaking russian has nothing to do with the russian goverment
the military can kiss my butt
if there were some militaries that was talking russian, that'd be understandable, but only russian
d i s a s t e r
I can't even remember if the old games had ukrainian voice over, but I know the defaults are russian, tho that was obviously due to the market size back then.
yes
even games was about ukraine, still russian voices
that was gsc's decision
I mean it was a larger market, so its obvious why, just how marketing and sales are.
yeah
but yeah on this, what I always got out of the old stalker 2 stuff was the zone was progressively running to the state of the zone in Roadside picnic
also the chaingun duty concept art
a special military task force on the border, everyone who enters uses a licenses and no one really uses guns anymore
yeah they do use guns
also illegal and legal stalkers
freedom had more western weapons in the old stalker 2 concept art
also the log mutant
as ideas like that started being suggested in that like legal stalker zones, it seemed to be pushing for a zone where it'd be centered around passes and a gov institute being the only people with access, and stalker 2s setting would be the "transition peroid"
yeah probably
but the institute is still sus tho dont know what they have plans in the new stalker concept tho
and dont tell anyone about the "device"
duty would get absorbed by the army, freedom i believe was hinted to probably straight up dissolve in one ending, everything suggested the story route would end with "stalking" as it was known ending and the zone transitioning to the roadside picnic style of a massive institute, a special military border guard and heavily restricted access to only researchers in the future of the timeline
i dont like the idea of duty getting absorbed by the army
lukash also betrayed freedom in the old concept
they had a internal conflict in freedom
its a very obvious turn of events if duty is struggling and told, "hey, if you accept you'll be the ONLY government military force in charge of the zone and you'll get state funding"
as both factions were going to be basically on their last legs in the game
idk stalker 2 seems to not have duty in that postion ward would probably fill that goverment military force role
But yeah the general point is the story suggests the end goal would the zone would be on the path to be like in roadside picnic, heavily restricted, barren and people only entered it for research really.
yeah but what would the next game be like if the old stalker 2 concept was used?
I'd assume the obvious next step would be more zones
not into afghanistan like that weird book
i'd rather have the zone expand into more of ukraine
Probably would be in south America
You might be asking "hell is this guy smoking" but there's documents that mention xlabs in the Caribbean
wait thats real?
Its been awhile tho, but I swear it's an actual thing in an xlab document description
oh crap
Here it is even the wiki mentions
The notebook contains a detailed description of an experiment assessing a psy-field's effect on an object in another hemisphere. A group of scientists in the Caribbean received the signal, but it was distorted. The signal was altered in a strange way, as though corrected by someone.
that doesnt mean the lab in the carribbean is a xlab tho
Its a psy lab as likely suggested by this as its intercepting psy signals
could be that there are other labs in other countries that try to intercept psy signals
like usa and european powers
i mean the other countries goverments have to know something about the zone
considering theres a crashed drone in the one of the games
Reason: Bad word usage
ban
Local man gets automoderated over 2 sentence answer to uav thing for simply saying the f word, I forgot the bot did this
uh what the hell
Ok, I can't be bothered, I'll be back again in 5 months
see ya
yeah?
It's delayed to 2023 without exact month and day, so exact date will come later
Steam ain't accurate. Just 2023 for now.
good
I would honestly wait another year
Because I was kinda scared about the release that was supposed to be in december
As no no gameplay video nor detailed screens shots have been showed about the game
But I come to a channel to read contextualized discussion.
And it’s disappointing when it’s not enforced.
As long as it isn't 2028, it's okay, right.
@indigo wind I remember some guy named Tejas on the old GSC forums
Heheheh
Tejas Stalker or something. Unsure about the latter.
Who is Tejas!
Yeah my Discord name is a reference to TejasStalker
A guy who spent an in-game year in vanilla SoC.
Stalker call of pripyat was probably the worst for me in the series
Just wanted to write that down
ок
Can you already play a beta or when is a beta coming?
NDA and NDA
First message here. Been on the discord for a while but forgot to accept the rules 🙂
I hope everyone at GSC and their family are fine. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is one of my beloved franchise of all time, and I hope to see someday a sequel. All the best to you guys !
Beta? You mean demo?
Considering no such thing ever existed for GSC's products...
Some stashes are glitched. To get rid of the icon dump an item in and take it out
Correct me if I'm wrong. I played every GSC title to date.
okay thx
Even the RTS games?
All GSC RTS titles shared the Cossacks UI so... Yah
I'd push over a baby for a STALKER RTS game
remember that there won't be any new fallout until The Elder Scrolls 6 is released 
You animal
at least stalker 2 is something i can enjoy while waiting
sacrifices for the greater good
Gran kids will be happy
still waiting for new vegas 2
and their grand kids will play it on their fridge and pregnancy tests
Damn straight they will
can't wait for a stalker mod for hoi4
wasn't new vegas made by obsidian so knowing bethesda they won't get it right anyway
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5NTJSfUWDE
When your baby is going to be a gamer
Sturdfield I'll only care about if open space exploring is done justice
I doubt there's going to be a beta, it will all just be released on day one
Given we still don't have proper open space flying sim
With XBOX game pass and PC
StarCitizen I don't count for reasons
I want to hop in my custom built space ship and go Startrekkin, damit
@void vortex
Remember how Todd Howard promised us that there'd be 200 endings for FO3?
Farscapin even
Remember uncle Robert has that covered with star citizen once that's actually further along development
Godd Howard never to be trusted
i have a feeling that starfield is going to suck, so i'm putting all my money on stalker 2
"16 TIMES THE DETAILS, 4 TIMES THE SIZE OF FALLOUT 4"
I think it'll be great, even if planets are a little bland in between hand crafted ones as that's what space would be like anyway
i'm so bored rn imma download stalker armor and weapon for my fallout lol
Though do you see it like I do, the dogfights felt 900% scripted and off somehow? Sturdfield
Fallout 76 is fun if all these points are hit
- You're drunk
- You're playing with 2+ other people
- You're taking the piss out of the game
I mean they can make it deep if they want, not simply "You can fly in space but you can't do anything else"
THE MOD IS HIDDEN

I got it as a b-day present. I touched it twice
Still waiting for Freelancer 2 myself
I really hate how the fallout 4 characters look. So plastic-y and ugly
🤤 Freelancer
piper is hot though
She was created to be gamer h*rny bait
I personally loved fo4 for what it was, building up my settlements ect
🐱
ah, i see...
Just the feel of open world exploration is my thing
I liked it a lot when it came out. But after awhile it just felt all stale to me
Ask GSC had a 5 minute wait the other day
also the 60FPS lock is dumb for an AAA game
No matter what you say Sturdfield is Fallout on steroids
Same mechanics, too damn similarities with FO, I'd say even reskinned Fallout with space setting
I played at more than 60 fps at a 144hz lock and it didn't feel faster like they say the engine runs when higher than 60
i love @long harbor 
same as skyrim
Not to mention the engine it runs on still dates back to the freaking Morrowind days
your pfp is a g*mer horny bait is it?
who are you trying to fool? have you got no idea who i am?
I got a can of condensed milk rotting slowly in the back of my fridge
no idea what to do with it
make pancakes?
may i have it
drink it
Put it outside to attract kittys
Sure
bathe in it
My local Ruskie/Ukrainian store sells them
ah ye we got that in Ukraine
uhh, milk?
It's a bad idea being condensed milk in this climate. You may get scranned
shut up chonky cat
HEY, get your condensed ass back into the cupboard for some poor soul to come across

idk how to reply to that
in the words of socrate, go fornicate yourself chonker
I'm too chonky to reach, its a problem 
also why are we posting random memes in #🤨┃stalker_memes
i'm so confused someone tell me please
where is the code for second door in lab X-18? I think i searched all the rooms but door are still closed and I don't have code
it's 1243
Do you count testers being invited?
if my memory is good
this code doesn't work
ok then i must be wrong, just google it
my brain is too old for soc now
that's code for first door
yeah, i was wrong
Indeed, especially if you have a 144hz monitor
i think i should kill pseudogiant first
I use that one for Discord
I will gift you a box cat
even 2000 works
will it be funny cat?
wow kev ur so fortunate
one problem though
What rtx though
I'm allergic to cats
sucks to be you
not any time soon it seems
:((((((((((((((((
Then i guess i'd have to buy a 3070 from BestBuy and send it here through Jack
Imagine not having an RTX card
I have a rx xt : )
I managed to get a card for MSRP so I jumped at the chance
Yeah for the work I do on Linux I agree, thus I have 2 GPU's - although they have allowed for passthrough of late
Every manufacturer has their issues, Nvidia/Intel just tend to be more vocal and worse offenders
Linux is slowly getting more support. I daily drove Arch for a long while, and while Nvidia GPU's were a pain - once its setup it ain't that much of a problem. I think I just ended up automating it with a script anyway
I think we've been saying that for years already 
AMD and their near incompatibility with windows
You gotta update your AMD drivers after every windows update due to windows replacing the drivers causing them to corrupt
Windows does what it needs to do, it's a jack of all trades. It never does one thing perfect, but it does do all the things with little to no user input
person with basic knowledge on these stuff here, why do some people find linux better than windows?
might be because i was "forced" to learn it during high school, because my institution had programming & database stuff integrated into the common subjects, but i kinda hate linux? lol
I have a 1660Ti, i'd steal a RTX
i have a cousin who said he highly recommends me trying it out sometime
I managed to get a 3080ti 👀
I am inside your walls
i am inside your balls
So that's why they are so swollen
OR you could jump off your high horse and say you looked at their profile 😩
you looking at my profile? stalker
Get out of here, Stalker
Same with 4chan
Hell nah
4Chan is home to absolutely anyone, evil, stupid, lost, friendly etc
Reddit is just full of salt for the most part
makes sense
i just don't like it that you need to code most shit in order to be able to do something
Wherever 4Chan is mentioned I just remember the dog drinkin water post
makes sense²
the only positive thing that i saw of linux is that it is supposedly less heavier than windows
I wonder if steam will make it easy with proton to play stalker 2, since it’s obvious that GSC won’t make a Linux version
but i hate it that some stuff was not really made for it
Ubuntu
Like a majority of the internet, but generally yea, it's more loose over there
I like finding illegal images as soon as I look at 4chan
anyway, as i took this as an offense which makes me feel like i need to prove myself the opposite of what you deliberately assume of me, i must confirm that i use reddit, but i wouldn't really consider myself a redittor
Le funni green text
oh and i visit 4chan just for porn
Regular NSFW aren't illegal
that's the only good use of 4chan tbh
I’m talking more about gore and questionable fetishs
4chucks
So what was the convo here about anyway? Defending Linux?
Neither are illegal
i had met one individual that used 4chan, and yeah things didn't go well with him
Unironically you can find something worse on Discord faster than 4Chan
i dunno, i've known them from years ago, the problem is that the guy revealed himself to have a crush on me
Plus the tape still wouldn't be illegal
It's illegal to commit a crime obviously, but the tape isn't illegal
Same, got a 1080 but really hope I can get a make a new build or at least get a new gpu before stalker 2 launches, with the new gpu’s comin out this year
Like, there's a suicide with the full blood and everything on YT, but that ain't illegal
and from there, he would just see me as
Depends on the country, due to privacy of the victim
Especially if it's a minor
Reason: Bad word usage
It’s illegaly made and questionably puts the person that watches it into a watch list (aka can be evidence in court if you get in court in the next 6 months of being insane and watching gore)
i dunno how to put it, a source of sexual pleasure/femboy? it was fücking disgusting
don't swear
4chan is nsfw by default is it not?
he would casually send images of himself shirtless and etc, made me really uncomfortable
got it
I must’ve turned it on then, /pol/ and /fit/ are the only boards I visit
I doubt you can be insane if you watch gore, depends on the persona and how it is put, but usually, the one who watches a picture of it and such are the one who runs away when the thing is actually real
Us court loves saying what you watch is what you become
i get my gore from reddit lol
A court is not a mental institute
4chan more like u chan't get no bitches
I don't enjoy watching pics/videos of irl gore and such, surely if someone enjoys it there might be an issue, but it isn't the cause of it in the most cases
there were a bunch of subreddits dedicated to gore, and most of them have been existing for years and nobody does anything
4chan user identified
holy shit, that is indeed a reddit-tier joke
Been in 4Chan a few times, mostly just on video game forums and it seems mostly fine
am i being infected? or am i just being able to recognize patterns which my brain defines as dangerous to me?
Either way, this channel is used for topics about STALKER 2, if it's off topic and not related to STALKER, then please, move to #💬┃en_offtop

how? lol
Easier than CS that’s for sure
shoebill gang
ah, makes sense
i find such stuff kind of a waste of resources, so i just stick to missions
i mean, my current backpack is small, so now i'm not really looking forward to fill it with random stuff
for some reason, my brain refuses to acknowledge their effectiveness
but i think i still have an hercules and some energy drinks in my backpack
i just use them in case i'm actually in a hurry for something
like getting out of a place without exchanging fire with anybody, or helping a group of people from the same faction as me
lol me too, i stick to bandages and medkits
i wouldn't say that in front of a dozen purists if i was you
(im jk)
No lol
The eternal struggle of anomaly fans and vanilla purists
NO
based on what?
Anomaly is sanbox experience not real stalker experience
^facts
Anomaly is not what STALKER really is, that's what he does mean
What did i just read

The story and the lore is what makes the game immersive and with absolute terrifying atmosphere
Stalker lore is the best

STALKER never was designed to be like that
If you want to know how STALKER originally was, then go play Oblivion Lost Remake
I bet he will
The right way to play is whichever you find the most fun :)
self-declared stalker veteran here, and i'll admit, i find anomaly more engaging than the original games, but i think such masterpieces shouldn't be discarded too
CoP with Gunslinger is my favorite
if you wanna go play anomaly first, go ahead, that might get you into the community, but do try out one of the games sometimes
i mean, that's your opinion
👍
people might stick to the true vanillas and can't take in additional content that enhances the gameplay
perhaps
I only play Half-Life and STALKER so idk
i managed to convince a friend of mine to try out stalker, and he went on CoP first
I dont like medival game :b
and despite it kinda hurting me, at least they'll get into the game with the most "up-to-date" mechanics when you keep anomaly in the background
Reason: Capital letters
EPIC
btw i hope the stuff i've been saying makes sense, for some reason i woke up feeling still tired, then i started feeling lightheaded, and now i'm drinking coffee and i'm unsure what it'll make me feel
Hey everyone. Got home from work, did I miss anything big?
Yeah apparently someone broke into the CNPP and came back alive 
god i suddenly remember something
there's this 🤨 trend in this server
and it's still here after all these months
why did i remember that ffs
I may or may not took part into making it an annoyance.. Do I regret it? Not really 🤨
Didn't know it'd live on this long though
aw bloody hell my fart smells
same
exhausted and tired
sleep then
Huh, weird.
Around the same time some weirdo was found alive near a crashed Death Truck.
Maybe Sidirovich can make some use of him.
let's play Insurgency Sandstorms then
Does anyone in Stalker take a shower?
I
Bet
Not today. Just got home and I got to finish up my project for school
i am your project
what
I'm wondering if someone in the zone take a shower
there's the rain
Did you guys notice Steam says DEC 2023?
Delayed
Do you think its just as a last resort date or its a "final" one? as in it cant be earlier
I know its delayed to 2023, we didnt have DEC when trailer dropped
Last resort date hopefully
sometimes i submerge myself in some lakes when i have the opportunity
Radiation
get radiation, but a quick gobble of water or anti-rad meds solve the problem (in anomaly)
Oh, k
It's a bug, don't worry
For now, all we know is that the game will be released in 2023
Alright
Monolith or Freedom?

I assumed they just added 1 year to previous date just as place holder 🤷♀️
where can i find rodent meat in stalker anomaly, anyone knows?
kill rodents

do you know where they are?
In the zone
what a drag, ok thx
don't forget to get a knife to cut the meat of their bodies
They're most common in Jupiter and Garbage I think.
wow you can speak here now
For about a month now.
Stalker 2 delayed?
Yes, to 2023
Check their website: https://www.stalker2.com/
I will
Have you seen the new trailer?
Yes
did you listen to the radio broadcast in the trailer tho?
No, I don't talk English
okay
december is not accurate
Mol1t said it
ok bro thanks
its somehow good for me
because now i got enough time to save money for a pc
Wait a second...
I lost the context somewhere along the road
We talking...
@tired anvil Do I count the testers being invited?
Brain went kaputt
You mentioned no beta for any GSC products. Spoke about a demo
I meant no GSC titles ever had official demos, etc - trial periods, be it work-in-progress aka beta or full version of one
You get my darn point
Beta in this case would mean early access
Which is why I asked if you count testers.
Because it didn't have demos other than E3 and crap
QA testers fall in different category
@tired anvil Opinion request. How did you feel about the Enter the Delay teaser?
Besides the delay of course
The scene itself
I felt the part where the camera zooms in at Hermann was too... "plastic"... animations, dude
Having seen what UE is capable of....
Its placeholder
We Know From From Xbox showcase That They Want H1 2023 For Stalker 2
You know "from Xbox showcase that they will hit Q1 2023"? @chilly vessel
How strange
What where and how - I missed the train or smth?
H1-First Half
Xbox said coming out within 12 months
I enjoyed both videos
Yeah
12 months from now could be either May or June which is 2nd half. Depends how they see things.
Now is June, so I'd say June
I loev 3D men from call of pripyat 🤩
Talking from business point of view.... moving such a high budget release during the summer season...
Usually big hits - hits, eh - come out either at the beginning or the end of the year
It's been like that in the game industry for decade and half
Maybe GSC thinks everyone will lock him/herself inside during the hottest period of the year to game Stalker!
Lock the doors, close the windows, turn on the ceiling fan and... Enter the Zone
Lmfao
Hey Gaj
The man went to sleep
You know you can rarely sleep in the Zone, why bother him - could be his only chance to sleep damit
Nobody believes the bucket story
Put a bucket on your head and what... wait for someone to drop the hammer on it?
we know that Microsoft support GSC
they have full support of Microsoft
imo its April or May
1H its Jan-Jun, 2H July-December
Usual term is Q1/Q2/Q3, though to each their own
First, second, third or ninth half...
Still the same
i will
praise deez nuts
do rodents drop anything in SoC?
duty members wouldn't know; they die every time a rodent sneezes on them
They die to packs of blind dogs trying to leave their base 😔
they die to friendly fire while their comrades shoot at blind dogs while trying to leave their base
NPCs can friendly fire?
At least they don't smoke weed and have sexual intercourse with mutants

no, i'd be running away

Don't get it mixed. It's not being moved till the summer season. It's being moved UNTIL the summer season. Basically, if things were to "go to plan" then it should release by June or so. I think Spring will be the outcome

just a demo, meh
it's being released soon

What's the most effective way of killing bloodsuckers
screaming
shotgun
screaming.
or the knife if you're playing vanilla stalkers
yeah let your gun scream at it

How many hits does it take?
quit being a 🅱️ ussy and fight it brother
as many as you think it's enough
^
Are we talking vanilla?
Or mods
If it mods it’s kinda easy with a shotgun
But in vanilla if you need to 4-5
It depends with what shotgun
Ic, thanks
What do you guys think of allowing players to construct makeshift camps or structures in a persistent multiplayer mode? Too Rust-y?
Perhaps too Rust-y
Whatever. Spring doesn't seem like the right time to me.
Hey guys
I want to ask you guys somethin
With all the information we have now about the game, if you had to guess, do you think stalker 2 will be good or not? If you can say why too that would be great
It'll be 50 percent good, 50 percent trash
Why?
Take the political drama next to the lack of certainty in every word we've heard so far... and dunno what else we'll hear and see till release
your fists
I want to know what the community thinks
The community tends to be split into two camps
One consist of naive people claiming not everything is what it looks and the other, comprised of realists, thinking out of the box
Something like that
Like I use to say...
Two sides of the coin
Personally, with all they have declared I think this game can be good, tho one thing is that what was said sounds great and another is that they actually implement it well
For example the survival mechanics and how if you’re hungry enough you’ll actually hear your stomach growl
That’s cool, the already guarantees for emissions, classic artifact hunt, no typical fast travel and promise of a difficult experience sounds nice
You won't hear it, besides it'll be annoying
What was said looks good on paper, may not sound good at all and may not even work well - has to be done first to be judged
It was revealed on the pc gamer article, and I think it’s cool detail tbh, makes it more than just a thing on the screen to take care of
It's obviously will be done like screen effect of sorts
To "signal" the player you know
Make him aware
Usual game design logic
I mean yeah, but the grumble noise after skippin many meals sounds like a really cool detail
Two ways to make it work - visibility & hearing, either let the user see it or hear it
You're limited in options
There’s also the audible hallucinations you can get if you don’t sleep enough
I don't care about survival but...
Sleeping feels essential
Either when the player wants to play the game during specific time of the day - e.g. only playing when it's dark - in-game ofc, you name it
Especially essential in open world games where in-game times goes slow and you have to wait to be able to do specific actions bound to different period of the day
Quests, events, etc
The hallucinations or grumble would only happen if you skip too much on eatin or sleepin tho, it’s not immediate accordin to the magazine
That sounds really cool, could work really well if they also make some mutants only appear at day or night
Many times I've idled on SoC to wait for darkness to fall so I can explore differently
In-deep
Maybe a quest in which you need to wait for nighttime in order to haunt a mutant that only goes out when it’s dark
Let's not get "immersed" that much before things turn out to be a whole lot less "immersive", shall we
Lol
Although I have 0 hopes so not a problem for me
People tend to visualise things too much, then end up going crazy it's not how they envisioned everything
Idk, I think GSC can deliver a game on par if not better than the ogs, at least based on the interviews, articles and small snip pits of gameplay. Only if the AI works tho
We haven't seen gameplay yet, do remember that
The trailer everyone speaks about's too controversial
@mossy verge , the wiener stand is on the other side of the street
We have, the gameplay trailer was at E3, I agree the combat section sucked they need to fix the AI. But the artifact hunt, mutant section and in game cutscenes pretty much are gameplay
is it fixed this time with the published 2024 ?
Of cures
I’m terms of raw gameplay I guess the artifact section is the closest we have been to that
and we must pray for Ukraine every day
"We" should be replaced by "I do"
Some people prefer to stay neutral with politics
My guess is that we’ll see gameplay at gamescom or TGA
I don't know how long it really is, I think the media is lying
Chances it'll be TGA are slim
If they plan to release on the first half of 2023, which was indicated by the Xbox image of games comin in the next 12 months
The PR manager at GSC was at TGA in 2021 so I wouldn’t rule it out
Good point
Maybe this time Zachar will be there selling Stalker-branded energy drinks instead of.... hwo it was last year
Gamescom is at august so it’s about 2 months from now
Whatever
Whatever happens, I'm not supporting the way they handle marketing
I'd also buy the game months after it comes out (if at all) to save myself the launch horrors
Should the game be far too different to what everyone expects also, GSC will have time to act and I won't be there to see the mess myself
Extra disappointment prevention measure dude
@solid dome you from Ukraine ?
What makes you think so? @mossy verge
I'm from my own country, called Bulgaria - home is where the motherland is, bruv!
Want to buy the retail pre order cause of the lamp
just curious, but you don't have to answer
Why not, I'm not telling you my social insurance number lol
Hahaha xd
Reason: Bad word usage
If we're to ask where we're from..
I love you all no matter where you come from human is human
Since it’s made on UE5 instead of XRay I do think it’ll be less buggy, still with a ton of bugs but not as much as the originals
Where are you from, El Patron @mild owl SA maybe? South America, not South Africa...
Taco country
The Taco Lands
Ye
where my brazilian fellas at
Taco appreciation moment
Don’t think tacos will get that perfect landin tho

But yeah I’m from México, taco land and such

Hey guys just a quick question if anyone can help me out. I've been trying to find out if ultimate edition will be released in the U.S. or did I already missed my chance?
Prob need to check out the #🖤┃s2-pre-order for that one.
Nothin for the US in terms of ultimate edition but if impaciente you can check the legends store
It’s in the same channel
Yeah I already checked and it's sold out on there.
The Zone rewards those who are patient enough
Lol I have been. I was so patient that I eventually forgot and got worried I had missed it.
👌
Damn, by best advice then is to save up and wait until official stores have the retail
Thanks for the help guys
I don't know!!! Where is it!!!😱

whenever MEE6 sends a warning to me, i reply by sending a photo of father grigori from hl2 and a random voiceline of his
bruh am I wrong for liking Stalker Anomaly? Some people say the devs are racist but I ain't finding any proof
wtf they are?
and, nah, you're here for the artist's content, not the artist itself
no idea man
some guy from a friend group says they are when you ask for tech support
like they yell slurs or something
if you insult their game
anyone got any proof to prove or disprove these rumors?
Nah, I mean there's good and bad everywhere. It's like Michael Jackson's accusations of being a nonce, people still loved his music.
but the difference with that and this is that the anomaly devs aren't in the grave yet
yeah, there will always be bad people (in our terms) out there, even those you look up upon
virginity, it's time to play a game with you
Hi
Can you kill the burers in the train tunnel next to Jupiter's central without taking the mission, and then taking it and auto-completing it the moment you recieve it?
for saving travel time and stuff
Tunnels reminding me metro series what a good days and the feeling when you get good ending
If you listen to what people say, you're better off lying on the train tracks...
never played, economically destroyed right here
What does racism even have to do with the game...
You should play
I have a feeling the answer is gonna be no, but can you synthesize artifacts in SoC?
Cracked...
wdym syntesize?
For example: the crystal artifact is made when heavy metals fall into the burner anomaly
God, humanity is really on the verge of logic-xtinction
ah, that would be nice but i dont think so
they should make that a feature for stalker 2 actually
i think there is a suggestion channel
what if you could create crystal by throwing a bunch of shotgun and armor piercing rounds
Which nobody checks anyymore
Considering the development being in advanced stage
Suggestions channel has to be locked, otherwise it's troll fiesta
nah, leave it open, what if i come up with a cool suggestion?
Log in to Google Docs, create a document, think of formatting and start filling. Collect the best thoughts. Then share them, maybe in the end you'll have your suggestion added in future patch.
Right now the best ideas are lost in the walls of text spammed by trolls
i think that's too much of a fuss
If typing for you becomes fuss...
also, there's chances the devs might not have time to respond or they can't understand english
Breh. No developers are to be found here. Every bit of information is relayed to them through the CM/PR employees
No developer would sit in Discord lol. Would be fired instantly.
There are no developers 



why is your name monolith when you got duty all over you?
imo it should be made a suggestion event from once in a while
💀
like every couple of months the devs allow us to suggest stuff
like a contest or something
The devs are gone replaced by robots with advanced programming

How many warns until a ban?
i'm not sure, i guess until a mod takes notice and decides we have fooled around too much
Reason: Bad word usage
Shiver me timbers
theres 3 notes that you must give to strelok in CoP right?
worried that i may accidentally have sold one to owl in the start of the game
That's impossible
You don't need to give him docs
Besides it would be so dumb if the devs left it like that
Yep, located in Yanov
?
Oh?
He's talking about Strelok group docs
In secret locations
If you give all the three documents you will get the canonical ending for Strelok
Which is?
You'll see if you will do it
Oh boy saw the dev diary... the amount of propaganda... Hehe
Also... why the heck they used the AmazSTALKER font for the thumbnail when they goddamn had graphic designers do custom logo from scratch.... Lost the project files or what?
Like.... why....
https://i.imgur.com/FNvCSMx.png
Although to admit the AmazSTALKER font looks 100 times better over the official ST2 logo for the sole look of it
I wouldn't call it propaganda, but an actual insight of what is happening there
I think they did a great job
They managed to tell lots of stuff in few mins
They surely put a lot of effort in that
In blurring all the screens too 
Wait Strelok has more than 1 ending!? (death not count)
They wanted to share what has become of their lives, it’s not their fault Russia invaded
I just found yanov on google maps on accident
But the station isn't there, just the surrounding buildings
So photorealistic yanov is off

Guys
I have a question, did the ultimate physical STALKER 2 cost 5499$ ??
cuz that price will burn my soul e.e
a small price to pay for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2
well
5499 dollars is basically insane, originally the ultimate physical stuff was 499
I don't have much ;-;
Ah, nevermind I was really retard e.e
it's the price of my country.
ARS$ 5.499,00
jeez, 5500 pesos is just 45 bucks
Yeah, but it's the digital, not the retail.
Seems like they didn't put a price yet for it. cuz it says "Available soon"
Either way I'll buy the ultimate retail collection, it will be my first time buying physical stuff for my favourite game :3
i take it you are not really bright
its not just about inflation that we have regional prices, its also about the taxes we have to pay for a game
go back to sucking blood you sick vindictive poop
That will be $20
Why does everyone keep asking this question when the words "war against Ukraine" pop up in international news every day? Pretty obvious why the game is getting delayed.
No disrespect, my dude. But the inquiry in of itself is redundant.
i dislike being rude, but my sleepy brain is telling me to call you ignorant, so
damn, you're ignorant
I'm not gonna sit here and act like I know exactly what's going on over in Ukraine; much less with GSC in particular. But I do know this: game development is complicated. I'm willing to bet that 3 months out of development (especially depending on how far along the game is and at what point it stops at) can push a schedule back a LOT.
I'm sure they have damn good reason to be stalling that much time. Personally, I'm willing to bet they would've gone for an earlier release date, but wanted extra time to make sure things were polished before output. We still don't entirely know how detailed, in-depth and layered the game is at this point.
Just be patient and keep an ear out, my dude. All we can do. If there's anything us STALKERS are good at, it's biding time and being patient.
Also, I really didn't mean to come off as a dick before. Just tired of seeing the same, already-answered question over and over again.
Bro where are you lol?
The intended release date before the war was December, so even if the progress of the game was linear the game would still be delayed to next year.
But game development from what I’ve heard is not linear, so that means they might need even more time than 3 months.
So does an international copy of the game work in any country?
Troll, what else
You remember the trolls scene in The Witcher 3? Except the trolls we often meet here are of less intelligent tribe.
Lol
Didn’t played the Witcher 3, is it good? Have heard both great and not so great stuff
It's pretty great, especially if you're already a fan of the franchise. Although I'm biased because I already was a fan and played the first two games before coming to 3. Loved 'em both. Playing through the main quest still, but from what I have played so far it's been a really rewarding experience.
What negative things have you heard?
The Witcher 3 has to be the best RPG thing that happened after Fallout 3 (not a fan of Fallout)
How the side quest and world bein leveled are detrimental of an open world, there’s a really good video about it made by Muzska, a Spanish youtuber who is not retired
Don't a lot of RPGs do that nowadays?
Bone. Hehe.
The game still needs to be completed and fixed, you can see that in the dev diary they are still making the animations, plus, with the war going on they aren't that much safe, especially some employees which joined in the defence of their country and some who are trapped in Russian territory, such as Donbass and Mariupol
We'll in see in the future in which month of 2023 Stalker 2 is going to be released
